Affirmations to Improve Your Life

by Gary Simpson

An affirmation is a positive assertion, a solemn declaration, a way to change your way of thinking. You can use affirmations to improve performance and results in all areas of your life. The “positive action” self-talk of specific affirmations is beneficial to achieving desired outcomes.

Affirmations can implant your sub-conscious mind with a framework for achieving success. They should be read with emotion, preferably out loud, and with great desire and meaning. The secret to affirmations is to read them as though you are already in possession of that which you are seeking.

Affirmations should be read every day without fail, preferably as soon as possible on rising in the morning and always just prior to retiring in the evening. During the day try to read your affirmations as often as you can.

Do not be concerned if the results you are seeking do not come immediately. Be persistent. Use your affirmations for 30 days without missing a single day. This will implant the positive messages into your normal way of thinking.

Continuing the recital of your affirmations beyond 30 days will increase their strength, which will manifest itself in the results that you will receive.

Understand that different people have different levels of self-belief and self-worth. Results, therefore, will be different from one person to the next.

For greater results you can write each affirmation into an exercise book every day. You can also add your name to each affirmation to personalize it for you. Commence each affirmation by saying: “My name is…” This will add further strength to the affirmation.

The following are examples of affirmations for happiness (Note the positive and action based way it is written).
